Methods, systems, and computer program product for characterizing timing behavior of an electronic design with a derived current waveform

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for characterizing timing behavior of an electronic design with a derived current waveform. A set of inputs is determined from a set of electrical characteristics of an electronic design or a portion thereof. Moreover, A derived current waveform is determined at one or more modules stored in memory and executing in conjunction with a microprocessor of a computing node based at least in part upon the set of inputs. The electronic design or the portion thereof is characterized based at least in part upon the derived current waveform.
